Free Library Festival
Festival event photographs courtesy of Katie Riggan On Saturday and Sunday, April 18 and 19, 2009, the Free Library hosted its third annual Free Library Festival. Drawing our largest crowd to date--estimated at 35,000!--the Festival presented more than 50 authors, performers, and programs, and 80 exhibitors at the Street Fair and Literary Marketplace. Thanks to our Festival Sponsors, the City of Philadelphia, and the Fairmount Park Commission, to the Free Library staff, and to our more than 200 dedicated Festival Volunteers for another fantastic fest!

Be sure to "book" the 3rd weekend in April 2010 for more books, music, and inspiration!*

We're excited to be joined again this year by many of our neighboring Parkway institutions! Presenting fun, interactive activities for families and information about their missions, our Parkway Neighbors can be found on Vine Street (see Site Map) during the Festival!
